Add Equipment Headers

The procedure can be used to add headers to equipment. Headers include equipment labels plus any other required text as entered by the user. If an equipment label is changed, the equipment label in an equipment header is automatically updated.

For details of the use of this procedure in the context of drawing P&IDs, refer to Label Equipment (with or without Trim).
